If I were in your position and wanted to go to DEN, I would try Skywest before Mesa. The deal both have with United is great, I wish our furloughs at Delta could have the same. I also have a friend at UAL who was furloughed very early on but still got a Dash-8 class with Mesa due to this deal, and he believes he will be DEN based. With the high number of RJs coming to both of these airlines, you could be an RJ CAPT for a short while before you go back to United---which wouldn't be a bad thing. Good luck.
I do want to go to Skywest. I had heard that the last round of Skywest guys went only as far back as the July furloughees, so I was just wondering how many more classes it might take before I got a shot at it (somehitng I am extremely grateful for).
Their is one part of the Skywest equation that you can not figure. The future furloughees will have dibs before you. So at the end of September when the company announces December furlough, these guys will have first choice. So its really hard to determine how junior Skywest will go.
The only thing I can say with some certainty, is 2001 and 2002 furloughees will probably never had a chance at Skywest.
Don't you guys have an " Affected Pilots List " ? USAirways is keeping an up to date list of all furloughees with their preferences of J4J positions and who went where.
